Here's an interesting one for 'yas. I put together a compilation of what I think represents some of Paul's finest Beatles songs. Bear in mind that I only had an 80min CD to fit it all on, it came to 78:54. The 28 tracks were as follows (I forget the exact order, it was chronological, but these were the tracks):

I Saw Her Standing There
All My Loving
Can't Buy Me Love
Things We Said Today
I'll Follow The Sun
Yesterday
The Night Before
I've Just Seen A Face
Michelle
Drive My Car
We Can Work It Out
Paperback Writer
Eleanor Rigby
Here There & Everywhere
Got To Get You Into My Life
Penny Lane
When I'm Sixty-Four
Fixing A Hole
The Fool On The Hill
Lady Madonna
Back In The USSR
Blackbird
Hey Jude
Get Back
Oh Darling
The Long & Winding Road
Two Of Us
Let It Be

Whatcha reckon? I'm planning to do a solo one as well - or maybe two, one 70s and one post-Wings.

As for And I Love Her - that was on the preliminary list, but cut for time. I was trying not to include too much material from any one album - and also to include at least one song from each album.

Same here, these decisions would drive me schizo to get on just a single CD-R!

I know that I try to ignore the real history when it comes to including "The Hits", as it were. I also lean towards the stuff that might be less serious (I would include Eleanor Rigby though).

I think some of his, and John's, personality really comes through with the more humorous stuff, and that was always like a bonus to me. With those you got a little extra. They are kinda like outtakes (I would also tap my Anthologies).

I know what you mean Dr. Dingle.....I've used the And I Love Her A-1 version on my latest compilation Macca-Beatles discs. I just like the vibe of that one. Even though I LOVE the orig, there's something about the electric take that is so very cool....

How Come No One Older Than Me Ever Seems To Understand The Things I Wanna To Do?

LOL, Dingle...I have been infatuated with the Anth DVD in the last year....I need to get back to the CD's and rediscover some stuff. I know you are a huge A I/II/III fan from your posts and your siggy line.
